Life in one of Adelaide’s fastest-growing northern suburbs is about to get a lot more fun – and active – as residents prepare for the opening of a state-of-the-art 5500sqm playground.
Opening on Saturday, February 7, the $2.5m Harvest Green Park playground, which will promote adventure play, will be the centerpiece of the Land Australia Evergreen development.
The park has 18 pieces of play equipment catering for young and old children, the central feature of which is a raised play area with towers reaching around 10m in height and providing access to slides.
The playground improvements will also include a half basketball court, soccer goals and a grass field for games; a natural playground with natural planting, two flying foxes, indoor trampolines, a large log and rowing nets, a play tunnel, and a shelter and shelter – all connected by paths and shaded by a large tree canopy.

Hickinbotham Group – Land Australia’s parent company – managing director, Michael Hickinbotham said he was proud of the thriving community that had already called Roseworthy home and looked forward to “serving generations of families to come”.
“Driven by the latest in design, Harvest Green Park is a playground
for recreation, adventure and communication,” he said.
“We believe that it will be a meeting place for families, where children will be free as parents build friendships with neighbors.

“Harvest Green Park takes inspiration from the botanical theme of the Evergreen estate and weaves in natural elements such as boulders, logs and hills for climbing, balancing and jumping.
“Building on the seminal work of former Thinker in Residence, Professor Fraser Mustard, the Hickinbotham Group has long championed public playgrounds as a way for children to learn through meaningful play that encourages risk-taking and encourages informed decision-making in a safe environment to build confidence.”

It is the latest milestone in the $504m Roseworthy development, which will be home to more than 750 families across Evergreen and the neighboring Flourish estate, once completed.
As of today, 175 homes have been built and another 64 are under construction in a project that is projected to contribute $531 million to the Gross State Product and create more than 3,200 full-time equivalent jobs.
